PACE framework enhances single-cell trajectory inference with geometry-aware transport

Researchers have developed PACE, a new framework for single-cell trajectory inference that addresses the inherent ill-posed nature of reconstructing cellular dynamics from time-course snapshots. PACE utilizes a geometry-aware approach by constructing an anisotropic Riemannian metric to better align cells across different experimental times, accounting for asynchronous development. The method refines cross-time couplings and fits neural bridges between snapshots, ultimately distilling these dynamics into a continuous-time velocity field. Evaluations on multiple datasets demonstrate PACE's superior reconstruction performance and improved RNA-velocity alignment compared to existing methods. AI
